Description

Nestled within circa 0.6 acres of beautifully presented gardens, this exquisite five-bedroom detached property, originally the offices of Parkend Deep Navigation Collieries Ltd, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. Dating back to the 18th century, this charming residence boasts a wealth of period features combined with modern comforts, making it a truly exceptional family home.

The property benefits from both 'in and out' driveways, providing ample parking and turning space, ideal for those with multiple vehicles. The beautifully maintained gardens, lush and expansive, offer a peaceful sanctuary, perfect for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. Surrounding the property is enchanting woodland, with direct access, providing a tranquil and private retreat.

In addition to the main residence, the property includes two separate holiday cottages that generate additional income, making it an attractive prospect for those seeking a property with business potential. Whether you wish to continue with the holiday rental income or repurpose the cottages, there is also potential for expansion on the site, offering future growth possibilities.

Offered with No Onward Chain, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic home with income-generating potential in a picturesque and private setting.

Parkend's central position within the Forest of Dean allows direct access to all of the local towns and tourist destinations. Parkend itself benefits from The Dean Forest Railway, a direct link to the Colliers/Family cycle trail, Cycle centre (bike hire), village shop, two pubs and Whitemead Forest Park which is a major provider of a range of accommodation from camping to lodges.

A wider range of facilities are also available throughout the Forest of Dean including an abundance of woodland and river walks. The Severn crossings and M4 towards London, Bristol and Cardiff are easily reached from this area along with the cities of Gloucester and Cheltenham for access onto the M5 and the Midlands.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size, character, and potential this property has to offer.
